And I thought *I* had a large collection ;-)

One of the websites that really *bit* me with the music collecting bug, was a "The Who" collection website, run by a feller calling himself "White Fang".. It's billed as the largest Who collection in the world, and I don't doubt it, this guy has a collection of EVERY rare Who item ever, except ONE, which is what prompted my latest visit to his site, as I could NOT believe that I obtained something he did NOT have....
However , his site, and his collection of what has to have a pieced out resale value of a MINIMUM of 15 million dollars, is up for sale.. as a lot, however.. he wants 5 Mils.. i ain't got that ;-)..
But you MUST check it out.. he has what he estimates as 400 times as much as shown , in duplicates... if I had 5 large, I could probably keep the displayed collection INTACT, and make my money back, parceling out the dupes....
The amount of work that has gone into this site is MIND BLOWING.. furthermore, it is so well designed , with the collector in mind, that you'll leave there wanting more!

However, I add this on my own..

You may use these for any private purpose you see fit, but

YOU MAY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER USE THESE SCANS FOR ANY COMMERCIAL PURPOSE WHAT SO EVER!!

That means NO copying and posting on Ebay, or any other commercial website, to 'represent' the item you're too lazy or dishonest to scan or photograph for yourself..

If i ever find you have been using my scans to represent your items on any sales website WHATSOEVER.. i will IMMEDIATELY report you.

That also means no copying these scans to assist in creating 'Fake' cassettes either, for any commercial sale.

I WILL REPORT YOU!

Collecting is tricky enough without theives and liars getting into the mix...

And i look LONG and HARD to find ones in condition as good as these are to display..

Thank you for your time..

Why Collect Cassettes?

Indeed? Nobody usually knows why they've got "The Bug"..

But.. look at it this way, Collectors are, firstly, Historians, guardians of an eras' culture .. and if the pieces of history one collects have artistic value, and even functionality.. this is where it all comes together..

Happy hunting!
